Estrogen and progesterone receptor and hormone levels in human myometrium and placenta in term pregnancy.

Abstract:

:Estradiol and progesterone receptors in the myometrium, decidua, placenta, chorion, and amnion of eight women who underwent elective cesarean section at term were determined by means of an exchange assay. The hormone levels in the peripheral plasma and cytosol of these tissues were measured by radioimmunoassays. Maternal plasma and the placenta had high concentrations of estradiol and progesterone, with the placenta having 12 times more progesterone than in maternal plasma but only half the concentrations of estradiol in maternal plasma. The decidua and placenta had detectable levels of cytosol and nuclear estradiol receptors, but the myometrium had no measurable cytosol estradiol receptors, whereas the chorion and amnion had neither cytosol nor nuclear estradiol receptors. However, the chorion and amnion had significantly higher concentrations of estradiol in the cytosol than those in the decidua and myometrium. Only the decidua and myometrium had cytosol and nuclear progesterone receptors, but the placenta, amnion, and chorion had neither cytosol nor nuclear progesterone receptors. In contrast, progesterone hormone levels were significantly higher in the placenta, amnion, and chorion than in the decidua and myometrium. The findings indicate that, in the term pregnant uterus, (1) the placenta, amnion, and chorion are rich in progesterone, estradiol, and nuclear estradiol receptors but have no progesterone receptors, (2) the decidua and myometrium have nuclear estradiol and progesterone receptors, and (3) the myometrium has a higher progesterone/estradiol ratio than that of the peripheral plasma, thus suggesting a highly progesterone-dominated uterus.
